Caitlyn Jenner Takes Trump Up on His Offer, Uses Bathroom at Trump Tower
“Donald Trump said I could take a pee anywhere at a Trump facility, so I am gonna go take a pee in the ladies room,” Jenner said.
Reality TV star and transgender icon Caitlyn Jenner has made a bold political statement — simply by using the bathroom at Trump Tower in New York City.
During an appearance on “The Today Show” last Thursday, Trump was pressed to share his position on HB2, the controversial North Carolina bill that, among other things, prohibits trans people for using the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity. In a move that riled some conservatives,Trump came out against law, saying it was unnecessary. Then he said that if Jenner visited one of his properties, she could use whatever bathroom she wanted. A week later, Jenner took him up on the offer.
“Donald Trump said I could take a pee anywhere at a Trump facility, so I am gonna go take a pee in the ladies room,” Jenner said before entering the real estate mogul’s headquarters in a video recording that was eventually posted on Facebook.
After exiting the women’s bathroom, Jenner thanked the GOP front-runner and then quipped in a reference to Sen. Ted Cruz: “By the way Ted, nobody got molested.”
Cruz has campaigned aggressively against Trump’s stance on the restroom issue, and has repeatedly complained that efforts to accommodate the trans community amount to “political correctness” run amok. He has also invoked his own daughters and other children as potential victims of sexual assault should “men” be allowed into women’s bathrooms.
“He thought that men should be able to go into the girls’ bathroom if they want to,” Cruz said in the aftermath of Trump’s “Today Show” remarks. “Now let me ask you: Have we gone stark-raving nuts?”
The Texas senator also released an ad that asks, “Should a grown man pretending to be a woman be allowed to use the women’s restroom? The same restroom used by your daughter? Your wife? Donald Trump thinks so. It’s not appropriate. It’s not safe. It’s PC nonsense that’s destroying America. Donald Trump won’t take on the PC police. He’s one of them.”
